DEATHIN THE COAL MINE.
A TORRENT OF FLAME LEAPS
FROM THE SLOPE.

People For Miles around Startled by
the CODcussion-The Six Men In the
Slope at the Time Undoubtedly Blown
to Atoms suhOcation of the Rescners'
CHICAGO, April GA special from
Vinita, i. T., referring to the mine disas-
ter at Savanna, briefly mentioned In last
nights late dispatches, says: The BODY
of gas fired must have been immense.
The torrent of names forced from the
mouth of the slope was over 100 feet in
height, and illumn ated the whole coun-
try like an immense fash OF lightning.
1t was followed with such concus-
sion as to startle every one for miles
around, and people in the immediate
vicinity were severely shocked. Inc
engine house and lifting works structure,
over 100 feet long and two stories high,
was blown into splinters by the current
driven out Of the slope, and in few min
utes was enveloued in flames. From the
character OF the building and being liter
ally saturated with oil it was not possible
to save anything from the flames. There
were six men u the mine at the moment
of the explosion, which occurred at ii
O'Clock this evening. These men were
all killed. Their names were: Miles Jar
rett, Dave Jones, Hugh Dooley, William
Barnes, Charles Parsons and Bert French.
THE sUFFoCATED.
The most distressing part OF the acci-
dent is the sutfOcation OF thirteen more
who were attempting, with others, to
reach tie fated men through an adjoining
mine. They were: James Ward, James
McGinnis, Fred BATE, Thomas Maven,
Hill, Patrick Clancy, Robert Miller,
Patrick Pagan, John Williams, Peter
Renald and william Hudson.
The workings of the two mines run to-
gether far down in the mines, but these
means of communication have never been
attended TO or kept open or in order, al
though they furnish the only means of
escape from one mine to another, and
now, when they are needed, it is impossi-
BILE to get sufficient air through the old
disused entries to enable men to prose-
cute the search.
FIVE LOST.
Out OF the first party attempting to
reach No. 2 five were lost and are still In
the mine. A second party Of twelve or
fifteen went down. At this writing eight
of these are reported lost in the mine
overcome with after-damp and are un-
doubtedly dead. This makes thirteen
lives already sacrificed to the mat
tention and neglect In securing prop
er ventilation and getting rid OF
the gases which formed in large
quantities in the mine. There is no tell
ing what may be the further loss OF life
in the attempts to rescue the bodies OF
those now in the mine. A cutting is now
being driven through into one OF the
upper lifts or entries. When done l. is
hoped 1t will DE Ossible to at least rescue
the bodies of the unfortunates. Fans
have been started in No. 2 by attaching
the boiler OF a switching locomotive TO
the steam pipes. Everything that is
possible is being done 10 enable the men
to reach the bottom of the slopes.

dav a serious difficulty took place be-
tween Deputy Sheriff Perry and colored

out of the way. The deputy showed the
negro back to the door In hurry with
his disabled arm and good foot. The ex-
citement ran high. Several negroes were
arrested for carrying concealed weapons.
A crowd OF negroes tried TO get at Perry
In the room. Sheriff Zehnbar held them
at BAY with q revolver. The citizens are
indignant, and if further trouble arises
quick work Will be made OF the negroes.
Perry is on the street. Burnham is in a

SAPP'S KILLING.
A Correspondent Gives a New Ver-

A Correspondent Gives a New Ver-
sion of the Homicide.
ALAPAHA, GA, April 5.-Some two
years ago there came TO these parts one
J. K. Allison. he was quiet and unas-
Stunning in manner, and OF such q genial
and friendly disposition as to attract and
make friends among all classes OF people.
A little later he embarked in the turpen-
tine and naval stores business in Irwin
county. He had in his employ a large
NUN Der OF negroes to aid in conducting
his business. Some of them were lazy
and shiftless, and lounged around the
camps stealing both from Allison aud
also from the hands in his employ. Dur
ing the past season Allison mas suffered
the loss of several hundred dollars in
cash, besides store goods. etc. A few
weeks ago a negro by the uame
OF Sapp went 10 the store of AL
lison and told the clerk that Mr.. Allison
said TO let him have a suit OF clothes, and
obtained them. He Immediately left
AllisOn's place and went tramping, first
working at one turpentine farm and then
at another. Mr.. Allison having suffered
30 much loss from villains OF the Sapp
stripe, concluded to follow him. He To-
Gated MIN at o. J. Tatem's farm, a few
miles north of this place. He asked Sapp
to give up the stolen suit of clothes. 4
noisy war OF words followed between the
two. Sapp then refused TO be arrested or
to 20 with Mr.. Allison. The other negroes
on the place, attracted by the quarrel,
gathered around. On their appearance
sapp became more desperate in his re-
sistance to arrest. An eye witness says
that the looks OF the whole crowd were
menacing. During the excitement, and
while sapp was fleeing, some one fired a
pistol and be fell wounded. from which
wound day or two later he died. II Mr..
Allison fired the pistol shot, which
fact has not yet been proven
to the satisfaction of great
many persons, be was evidently greatly
excited by the menacing looks of the ne
groes. Mr.. Allison owns and controls
one U, the largest turpentlne farms in
Georgia. He has a home, family and
hosts OF ffieuds, and when the proper
time arrives be will come to the front and
give himself up for trial.
Mr.. Slater, Justice OF the Peace at this
place, promptly issued warrants for Mr..
Allison's arrest upon the affidavit made
before him.

Every Citizen Invested With the
Right to Bring Suits.
RICHMOND, VA, April Elm the Uni
ted States Court to-day Judge Bond de-
livered a written opinion In the habeas
corpus case of William L. Royal, VINO
was convicted few weeks ago In the
Hastings Court of Richmond Of brin ging
suits In the United States Court against
mem Ders of the Hustin-s Court who had
indicted him for barratry. Judge Bond
held that it is tho right OF every citizen OF
the United States to sue any one when
ever he believes he has been aggri eyed,
that this right is fundamental in its
character, and 70 State can de-
prive any citizen Of it, and
that he is protected in this
right by the constitution and laws OF the
United States, specially by tue fourteenth
amendment. He may fail in his suit. If
he does he is amerced and has to pay the
costs, but State cannot hamper or re-
strict him in any way H. making his com.
plant in court. Judge Bond therefore en-
tered an order discharging MIR. Royal
from custody.
In the case of Stumpf against the Vir-
ginia Board of Indemnity the United
States Circuit Court (Judges Bond and
Hughes sitting rendered a decision and
entered a decree dismissing the bill, not
for want of jurisdiction, but because it
asked the court to enjOin q judicial
tribunal from exercising power within it's
judicial discretion.
